Woman passes counterfeit bill at Git-N-Go

Police tracked a counterfeit $20 bill part of the way to its source Monday.

A Des Moines woman prepaid for gas at Git-N-Go, 100 Watrous Ave., but the manager realized the bill was fake and stopped the pump before losing any fuel, authorities said.

The woman said somebody who owed her money gave her the bill. That person told police he received the bill from his sale of stereo equipment. Neither person was charged in connection with the counterfeit bill.

No arrests in the counterfeit case were reported.
